Customer Questions and Answers for Door Hinge Cable Assembly by Lg

The Door Hinge Cable Assembly is an OEM replacement part for LG dishwashers. It consists of cables and springs that connect the dishwasher door to the tub, allowing controlled door opening and closing movements. The cable assembly allows for smooth opening and closing of the dishwasher door while providing counterbalancing weight to offset the door weight. It has 2-inch by 3/4-inch plastic pieces and an 8-inch rope section.

Causes of hinge cable failure stem from repeated opening/closing actions gradually fatiguing the cable material combined with potential corrosion developing on springs over years of use cycles.

Symptoms of a damaged hinge cable assembly include:

• Difficulty opening or closing the dishwasher door smoothly
• Door drifting open or slamming shut without control
• Visible slack, fraying or kinking in cable sections
• Rattling or grinding noises during door movements

This genuine LG assembly is also compatible with select Sears/Kenmore dishwasher models as well.
